MODELING DEATH RATE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN IRAQ

In the last years, when the Coronavirus appeared, all countries tended to take the necessary precautions in order to preserve the lives of the people and protect them from exposure to this virus because of its danger that leads to the death of the infected person. There are many factors that can have an impact on the mortality rate, so we presented in this paper a study on the factors affecting the death rate with the virus (COVID-19) and accordingly, the response variable took relative numbers. Therefore, a beta regression model was the most used in cases. Ratios and fractions values are between (0-1). This model is characterized by its flexibility and works to estimate the dispersion parameter, and the method of greatest possibility has been used to estimate the parameters of the model to study the mortality rate, real data for the community during the postvaccination period was relied on in Iraq, where it was studied in order to know the factors that affect this percentage.
